why is there no rain effect?

Your game isn't bugged, the expansion pack is just a disappointment

some people might think this is a minor complaint but this something that's really annoying me especailly since it was in the previous game

shows a complete lack of detail and attention from the devs to not add something like that

Might be related to the issues they ran into with snow depth? Hard to say without knowing the inner-workings of the game firsthand.

i've had heavy rain and light rain in game and also haven't seen it on a few videos of other peoples games on youtube

this was something the sims 3 seasons had why isn't it in this game? unless it is and my game is just bugged

also would have been nice if rain dripped off the roofs and balconys and even pooled up on windows

My pools and other watery areas definitely do show ripples during rain. I play on Ultra settings.

my game is on ultra not a single ripple on pool surfaces or drops on the ground

I am seeing rain effects in my game. Try updating your graphics card, deleting your thumbnail cache, repairing your game then restarting your computer before loading your game again. Also, check all your in-game graphics settings. Some Simmers have stated their graphics settings were reset when Seasons was installed.

whats your graphics card??

Lol no.

There are rain effects, YouTubers have show them off. The only water that doesn’t is the kiddie pool which seems to be a bug.
So yes, it is a bug in the OPs game.

It may be dissapointing to you, but everyone is going nuts for it.

I don’t think there are any rain drops on pools/puddles/ground. There is on natural water (lakes, ponds).

There are effects though. There is water kicked up from shoes while walking, from tires as cars drive by, drops of water when your sim gets wet, plus the rain drops on lakes and such.

Could there be more? Of course! More is always better. Honestly though, it doesn’t break the immersion for me one bit. I’m having more fun with seasons than I have playing the sims in a long time. I hope you’re enjoying playing (despite the topic of this thread) as well! :)
